As a parent, it’s only natural to want the best for your child, especially when it comes to their education. But what happens when your child struggles, and no matter how much extra help or tutoring you try, they just can’t seem to catch up?

Before I became a special education advocate, I was an educator for over 20 years, working directly with the very children I now fight for. My experiences in the classroom taught me that learning and functioning differently is not a deficit—it’s a gift. My passion for advocating for children with autism, trauma-based behaviors, dyslexia, and more grew from this realization.
